Marxists recognize that trade is not the problem, capitalism is the problem.
Trade is not possible without commodity production and private property. Both of these things feed into capitalism. Trade deals are not socialist at all really.
The point was that there isn't a good version of protectionist capitalism, that's often favored by trade unions and workerist socdems like Bernie. Capitalism itself is the problem. The commodity form is the problem.
